you missed him on the knick? oughta check that out it was soderbergh at the top of his game (owen's usual err, accent issues notwithstanding.)

This is what I've been seeing on TV - an American version of course. STX must really have confidence.

All that VFX and they couldn't do anything about DeHaan's eye luggage.  He looks like he hasn't slept in a  year.

4.4M views on YT in a day.  May have been overshadowed by It, but that's still really good.  Positive reactions all around, too.

Paid views. STX promoted it on Twitter and a few other places.

You're supposed to promote your trailer. That's not paid views that's proper advertising

No.... Every studio and actor promotes brand new trailers. That's how it works.

Aren't this pretty much always done like that ? It cost good money to get those millions trailer views, specially without a strong IP (or Watson/Dwayne Johnson) that does a lot of the work for you.

I mean if I had an unknown property that had a new trailer coming out I'd want people to know about it too, but sure whatever floats your boat lol

If the paid advertising is working and it's trending on YouTube, what's the problem?

well, it means those trailer views mean nothing if the clip is on the front page for a few days. they did the same with The Mummy.

 

we can't use trailer views to speculate about a movie's BO

Well sure adjusting for the situation is always necessary when talking about trailer views (real youtube view vs facebook views, fanbase type and so on).

But obviously, that does not matter at all (none of this is made has a way to speculate about a movie BO)
